How To Clean A Guestroom

Cleaning a guestroom in the hotel can be very confusing and time consuming. It is important that a Room Attendant does the cleaning systematically in order to save time, effort and especially a room cleaned according to maximum standard of cleanliness. You have to remember that when cleaning a room the Room Attendant is also responsible in putting the various items like towels, replacement of dirty bathrobes with cleaned ones, bathroom amenities, printing items that needed to be refilled every time a page is missing, television channel selector guide, HBO guide, hotel directories, telephone directories, pens, note pads, ash trays in case of smoking rooms and many other items to promote the hotel and to create an excellent hotel image to the guest upon check in.

Regular rooms are usually constructed in similar layout, therefore the procedure in cleaning a guestroom are done consistently due to its identical layout. The Room Attendant should always bear in mind that whenever he does the cleaning or dusting he should do it either clockwise or counterclockwise from the ceiling down whichever is feasible. In that way there won't be any place being missed. The cleaning is divided into two sections, bedroom and bathroom and in case of a suite room the third section will be the sitting room/parlour room.

Cleaning should always start in the bedroom then the sitting room if any and the bathroom will be the last section to clean.

Replenishing of supplies should be noted in memory while cleaning or start checking clockwise or counterclockwise to make sure nothing is missed. Minimizing the foot steps in going back and forth into the room is important to save time, effort and to deliver a room with maximum standard of cleanliness.
